= Use of JNDI in GeoNetwork =

The only use of JNDI is in the Z39.50 Client.
The JZKit library expects to find its list
of collections in JNDI; the `initZ3950()` method
of the class
`org.fao.geonet.kernel.search.SearchManager`
puts it there.

Note: the file `src/jndi.properties` in
the GeoNetwork distribution is ''not'' used.

JNDI services are provided by the library
`tyrex-1.0.jar`.  It is this JAR file
that contains the `jndi.properties` file
that is currently being used.

If in future it is desired to make wider
use of JNDI (i.e., by using the implementation
provided by the Servlet/J2EE container),
the file `tyrex-1.0.jar` should be removed.
